Olympic Poster Inspired Art

Pin It Now!
Source: Mirror

Have you seen this Olympic Poster yet?  I ran across the image on Pinterest and as soon as I saw it I knew it was something Avery and I could use for inspiration for some Olympic artwork.  


I set out some paper plates with cups on them and let her go to work stamping some Olympic circles onto the paper (I only had 4 cups so we went back after we were done with green, red, yellow, and blue and added the black).  






I love how the picture turned out and she is so proud of it.  She showed it off to her daddy as soon as he got home from work!

    I love this idea! The ring effect is way cool and the technique is simple enough for the littlest of hands to do. Thanks for sharing!

    Darling! We did something similar with toilet paper rolls and it was a hit. I love simple crafts like this! Perfect for toddlers.

    Hi Liz,
    This is such a cute idea, we just had to share it on our blog! http://www.supersimplelearning.com/blog/2012/07/31/olympic-activities-for-kids/
    I also did this in the classroom with 5 and 6 year olds. Very fun! We all had a great time, and our paintings were lovely.
    Thanks for the great idea!
    Best,
    Sara
